I was listening to the final summation by the defense. If I heard him correctly he said that 'failing to act' is not grounds for a murder conviction you must 'commit an act'. I think driving home & putting your car in a closed garage is 'commiting an act of murder' in this case.

Putting him in a closed garage, where there would be no way he would be able to attract help, and slowly watching him die over hours, and then disposing of the body, is sufficient premeditation. She may not have intended to hit him, but without question she intended for him to die after she hit him

I agree. For her to decide if he might make it or not, is not her call to make. Just by doing that alone, she put his life in her hands. (I think she wanted to make sure he died though).
